SHERMAN DENIES
He SAID BLAINE WOULDN'T RUN
For the Prasidsncy-He Says He Was Not
Interviewed.

PTrsErRG. July 1.-The number of DIS
;insuishri people that passed through the
Union Station this morning exceeded all
previous records.
As the last train arrived ut the depot
aud still one more OF the uotables stepped
from il, the most Of them were considered
only as ordinary people compared with
heir more favored fellow beings. Two OF
their number are spoken OF ~ candidates
Tor the Presidency.
The irst of the distinguished people who
alightrd at the depot was Archbishop
RYAN, OF Philadelphia, the silver tongued
orator, who three years ago was escorted
nv hundreds OF priests and bishops from
-. Louis To- his new home in Philadelphia.
Then came n. +. Barry, OF the General
Executive Board OF the Knights at Labor,
and on the next train was Henry George.
The latter had ~ his followers the
Brooklyp base ball club who were evident
IN OH the lookout for a mascot.
The most distinguished gentleman OF
those who walked along the platform was
senator Sherman. His tall form has be
come familiar To every person who fingers
around the depot.
The Senator, as usual, was in good HUI

boat Accident.
Special telegram 10 the Sunday Register.
PARKERsBURG, July 2-Without one
word of warning B. r. Lombard, Balti'
more and Ohio telegraph operator here
since October, skipped last night, leaving
a large number of creditors in the lurch.
He owed ~tailOrs, cigar men, saloon men,
hotel keepers, wash women, bootblacks,
dry goods merchants, Cinnamon, in fact,
everybody that it is possible almost TO
owe. He received his salary OF the first
by check, and though an interested party
watched him like a hawk he managed TO
get TO the bank and have the check cashed.
He told a former Western Union operator
here that his mother was dying and asked
him to take his place. He then left. His
wife had gone some days before, taking
the valuables, so that his escape was COM
paratively easy. He left nothing of value.
The total amount of debts will be not far
from one thousand dollars. The Baltimore
and Ohio Telegraph Company suffered with
the rest.
The Olivette broke her shaft on her up
trip this morning and had to be towed up.
In this city the Fourth OF July promises
to be a dull affair, except for the noise the
small boy and his irecracker will make.

the insincerity which conceals hatred
by professions Of kindness, the condemns
ton of frenzied appeals to passion for un,
worthy purposes, and the beating down oil
all that stands in the way of the destiny
of united country. While those who
fought and who have so much to forgive,
LEARN in pleasant ways ofpeace, how wicked
appear the traffic in national hate and the
betrayal of patriotic sentiment.
GENUINE FRATERNITY.
1t surely cannot be wrong to desire the
settled quiet which lights for our entire
country the path to prosperity and great
ness, nor needIt the lessons Of the war he

wish for that genuine fraternity which IN

TUESDAY, June y.
There il nothing startling 10 report III
the local market. not much wool having
changed hands the past week, caused by
the difference in prices offered by dealers
and those asked by growers, which state
has reference alone tn fine woods, which
have become softer in the last week,
although farmers are still holding on for
good prices. Prices are 30 10 - cents, and
Juyers generally are holding back TO see II
they can't get il ut a lower figure. IL Is
said that farmers are willing TO let their
stock go at thee figures, but "
vet no big sales have been sAeotrd.
This is greatly due Ia tho fact
for their goods that will warrant their
paying big prices for wool. Prices then
remain az follows: Xxx and above, washed

French Wine Dealers Alarmed

LONDON, July 2.-Gradually the French
wine dealers are approaching a'state ofap-
prehensiOn that the recent declaration of
the Chamber of Deputies, that legislative
interference is necessary to prevent the
alarming increase of spirit drink in France,
and the Prime Minister'S aspersiOns OF
the purity Of the prevailing beverage, por-
tends disaster TO their respective industries,
but nobody believes that serious measures
will be taken to restrict the one evil or
remedy the other. 1t is something, TO
he sure, that a committee of the
Chamber OF Deputies should declare
that the practice of drinking spirits had
become so widespread rs 10 render the I'M
restricted continuance of the indulgence a
source of social danger in the near future,
and it is also significant that NJ. Rouvier
should promise that misrepresentation and
adulteratiOn in the manufacture, sale and
handling of wines and spirits would be
severely punished by the Government;
hut both the admission Of the incorporate
use of spirits on the part of the committee
and declaration of the Premier are gcner-
ally COlSlCtIttl as UuNll8 bttu lnltlutl W
win applause rather than to express fixed
belief or a definite purpose.
The fact is, however, that the frauds
committed in the manufacture of wines
and spirits in France have decreased large
~ the demand for those commodities from
the long Suffering of French
wines and liquors i'll foreign nations, the
orders having fallen off TO such m extent
that exporters have become alarmed lest
their business should be ruined.
The making Of brandy has for some
years threatened Ia become one of the LOST
arts IN France and the potato and beet
root spirits made abroad, Tor the time have
exhausted the patience and crcdulity of
the most trusting people, and if NJ. Rou-
nier meant by his warming to fraudulent
manufacturers that this triumph of the
French bridesmaids ingenuity is TO be done
away with and its resumption strictly pro-
hibitcd, his remarks will cause many graf
ulatiOns; hut how the government is to in
crease It's revenue by the suppression OF
authorizations as intimated by him is a
%conundrum that can he answered only by
those who are accustomed 10 interpreting
those charming ~paradoxeS which 80 easily
and naturally glide from the tongue of the
average French orator.

WASHINGTON, June "A statement
